Chapter 910 Catarina's Family

-----

"About Catarina..." Laura said. "Is Silva awake?"

"I am..." Silva woke up, she was right next to them. "Big sis... Auntie Maria, big sis... she..."

"She what? I'm right here." Suddenly, a red-colored ghost moved through the walls and spooked everyone.

"Huh...?!"

Takeshi, Laura, Silva, and Tear who was just opening her eyes all glanced in shock at the scene. Oh, and Blackie that just came out of Silva's shadows to check what was happening.

"CATARINA!"

It seems they had fallen unconscious while thinking she was a goner. And well, she almost was one, but she held off just fine until I was able to heal her soul and let her evolve through my new and powerful [Creation of Death] Skill.

Silva rushed towards her to hug her tightly, and even Takeshi and Laura couldn't contain themselves. Tear didn't though, she wasn't so close to her, yet she smiled and felt relieved nonetheless.

"Ugh, do you have to hug me all at once like this?!" Catarina complained, turning herself physical for everyone to hug her tightly.

She was much taller than before and resembled an amazon with that figure and her muscles. Yet also had the appearance of an Oni with her red markings skin and horns.

A ghost can take most forms they desire, but she decided to stay in this form and appearance because she most likely liked it... Though she doesn't look that different aside from the very big detail of her size change, even larger physique, horns and- Yeah she looks different, but in a cooler way.

"Big sis! You're alive somehow?! How?! We were so sad when you died!" Silva cried, rubbing her face on her hard abs. "Uwaah..."

"C-Calm down now..." For as tough as she liked to pretend to be, she was weak against Silva, and she quickly kneeled to her size and hugged her. "I wasn't dead, well, I was already dead beforehand! But my soul resisted being torn to shreds until Maria found me. Thanks to Blackie too, he brought me to her."

"Woof! Warf!" Blackie was licking her happily.

"You've changed a lot though." Takeshi noticed. "Is this because of your evolution or something?"

"Y-Yes, it must be, isn't it?" Laura wondered. "I think I do remember your brothers were Fire Ghosts as well, right?"

"Well, thanks." Catarina smiled back. "You weren't half bad either, ice giant girl. What was your name again? Tore? Tearing?"

"It's Tear!" Tear complained, pouting a bit.

"Hahaha, I know, I was just teasing you." Laughed Catarina.

I see, she still loves trolling.

"Urgh..." Tear crossed her arms; she was easily irritable today.

Meanwhile, the kids gathered around the food and were eating everything... They were really hungry.

"Celes! Please don't eat everything like that, don't be greedy. This food is for everyone." His mother was reprimanding the boy of the blue eyes.

"But I'm so hungry mom... I can't describe it, very hungry!" Celes said innocently.

"Perhaps overusing his abilities caused this hunger." Lucifer explained. "Its natural on talented children with a lot of magical power, let him eat. We can prepare something on our own, right?"

"Yep, let's cook something tasty." I nodded. "I've got a lot of ingredients stored in my Inventory, so let's make a feast! Let's celebrate we survived, and we grew strong from that challenge... Our next one will most likely be the last in this city. So let's prepare well until then."

"I suppose we have a lot to talk too..." Nia sighed. "About what happened and everything else..."

"Indeed, but let's enjoy a delicious meal first, shall we?" I smiled. "Don't you want to too, Nia?"

"I-I..." Nia tried to be humble, but her belly was also grumbling like Nyx's did.

"She's hungry! Your mama's hungry, Celes!" Arachne said, she was playing with the kids too.

"Mama, let's eat!" Celes held his mother's hand.

"O-Okay... Alright." Nia sighed, smiling gently at her son's innocence.
